** INTRODUCTION

This file accompanies the Next Generation episode guide.  The guide is
meant to be small and portable, ideal for the coffee table.  It is easy to
print it for yourself as long as you use an appropriate font and printer
but, most importantly, print its pages in the appropriate order.  This is
particularly true if you do not have a duplex printer at your disposal.

** DUPLEX PRINTING

Originally, this document was produced for an Epson dot-matrix printer.
A lot of manual effort is required in the printing of this document.
If you have a duplex printer, that is, one that can print automatically
to both sides of a sheet of paper, then you can put all this technology
to use.  A new document has been designed for printing on an Hewlett-
Packard LaserJet IID or IIID Duplex laser printer.  It looks great on 
this printer *and* requires considerably less effort on your part!

** NUMBERS

The guide, in its final form, is 4 inches wide and 11 inches tall.  This
is achieved by folding normal 8 by 11 inch paper in half across the
length.  It is bounded like a book with staples.  It is 24 pages in length
when the pages are folded in half but is generated by a WordPerfect
document that is only 12 pages in length.  If your "small" printer font is
too large, WordPerfect will automatically extend the document but this will
adversely affect the paging in the guide.

** FILES

The files contained within this archive are as follows:

        README.TXT      The file you're reading now.
        EPISOLST.HP3    Guide for printing on HP duplex printer.
        EPISOLST.EPS    Guide for printing on non-duplex printer.

That's it!

** PRINTING ON A DUPLEX PRINTER

You can print your own copy quickly if you have the following:

        microcomputer
        WordPerfect 5.1
        HP LaserJet IID or IIID printer with decent fonts
        12 sheets of nice paper
        4 minutes

Load document, adjust fonts if necessary, preview it, and send it to
print.  Simple, huh?

Arrange them in stardate with the cover facing out.  Staple carefully on
the spine just like a small book.  Fold in half.  Presto!

** PRINTING ON A NON-DUPLEX PRINTER

You can still print your own copy if you have the following:

        microcomputer
        WordPerfect 5.1
        Epson LQ-510 or printer with a small font
        12 sheets of nice paper
        20 minutes

Print the first 6 pages on one side of 6 pieces of paper.  Keep them in
order.  Then print pages 7 through 12 on the opposite sides of these 6
sheets.  Insert the sheets in the order that they were printed in the first
run.  In other words, the WordPerfect page 7 is printed on the back of
sheet 1, the WP page 8 on the back of sheet 2, et cetera.

Arrange them in stardate with the cover facing out.  Staple carefully on
the spine just like a small book.  Fold in half.  See?

** OTHER PRINTERS

Obviously, you may not have these printers.  You can still print this
document if you use fonts that are not too large.  The bulk of the document
(particularly, each episode's description) is generated using the Epson's
Roman font set to a horizontal pitch of 15 characters per inch.  The
episode titles and stardate are printed in Roman 12 cpi.  The page header
is in Sans Serif 12 cpi double-high.  The entire document is printed with a
standard vertical pitch of 6 lines per inch.  If you do not have a duplex
printer, just print using the .EPS version.

** FONTS

In each of the documents, there are *some* specific fonts requested.  You 
may not have these available so some changes on your part may be necessary.
The bulk of the document uses font size attributes however so as to 
minimize the impact of not having certain, esoteric fonts...

The episode description text is printed at a smaller size by using the
"small" font attribute (selected via the Font [Ctrl-F8]|Size|Small command.
By default, this is 80% the size of the normal font used by WordPerfect.
If your "small" font is too large, you must select a smaller printer font.
Do not attempt to replace the [SMALL] [small] print codes;  that is too
difficult.  You can easily alter what WordPerfect interprets as small by
using one command:  Setup [Shift-F1]|Initial Settings|Print Options|Size
Attribute Ratios...

** CLOSING

If you have any trouble with this document, leave me a note on Canada
Remote Systems or write.  If in a real mind-warp, you'll find my telephone
inside the guide...
